Hi, to the girl wondering if she can turn up to an Assessment Day. No, Assessment Day is by invitiation only. You could try, but you'd probably get turned away at the door as they have a list of names of people meant to attend.
Open Day- go for it, anyone can attend and it doesn't matter if you register online or not.
A380 and Main Fleet train separately to each other, for all subjects. So you may make some friends on the first two days but if you are fleeted differently, you won't see a lot of each other in training. Probably sometimes at lunch. If you have AM and they have PM training, well, good luck. Catch up with them later. Honestly, you will be quite busy for socialising. One of the first weekends you have is 2 days off, make the most of it!!!
Even if you have the same DOJ, doesn't mean you will be in the same class. When I started, there were 6 groups starting at the same time. We had 12 in our group. I think most are like this.
Don't forget, Emirates have ordered lots of A380, so though the destinations are few at the moment, they will increase. There is already rumours of 4 new destinations coming over the next few months (No, I will not say which as you don't know til it is announced, however, smart people who have been paying attention to EK and the media can probably guess)
As for photos, it has been mentioned many many MANY times now, please make at least an effort to read this. It will prepare you for all the reading you will do during training
